Confidence and Learning Educational Advice from Sylvan's Dr. Rick

DOES YOUR CHILD NEED A TUTOR?

Does your child need assistance catching up to his classmates or getting ahead of the learning curve? A good tutor will help students, at all levels of academic accomplishment, develop study habits and organizational skills which will result in significantly improved schoolwork and test scores. Taking the time to consider whether or not to hire a tutor means parents are giving their children an opportunity to excel in the classroom.

"The purpose of tutoring is to teach children efficient learning skills and techniques," said Dr. Richard Bavaria, Ph.D. and vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center. "It's important that parents take action early and seek a tutoring service that develops these skills for success."

The following are signs that indicate if your child needs a tutor:

-Slowly failing grades in school
-The child develops low self-esteem and thinks negatively of himself or herself because of his or her school performance
-Making excuses as to why he or she is not doing his or her work
-Misbehavior in school
-The child is becoming rebellious toward schoolwork and loses interest in learning
-The child is preparing for college testing

The Howard County Food bank needs help.

We have joined with the Howard County food Bank this Holiday season to help host a food drive - beginning November 21st and ending December 31st. We are asking that students, staff, current families, and people with the community make canned or boxed food donations to help us in our efforts to support the community. Our donation box will be located in our lobby. If you have any questions please call the center.
